Nonstop flight route between Moab, Utah, United States and New York City, New York, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Canyonlands Field (CNY), Moab, Utah, United States and LaGuardia Airport (LGA), New York City, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,898 miles (or 3,054 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Canyonlands Field and LaGuardia Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Canyonlands Field (CNY):

• Canyonlands Field (CNY) currently has only 1 runway.
• The furthest airport from Canyonlands Field (CNY) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,061 miles (17,801 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Great Lakes Airlines began servicing the airport on January 6, 2007, with two daily flights to Denver International Airport.
• Because of Canyonlands Field's high elevation of 4,557 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CNY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CNY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Canyonlands Field (CNY) is Monticello Airport (MXC), which is located 61 miles (98 kilometers) SSE of CNY.

Facts about LaGuardia Airport (LGA):

• LaGuardia has four terminals connected by buses and walkways.
• Delta will invest $100 million to renovate terminals C and D in LaGuardia, where it will operate a total of 32 gates.
